Mighty things come in small packages. The little robots in this video can haul things that weigh over 100 times more than themselves. The super-strong bots – built by mechanical engineers at Stanford ...

For decades, microscopic robots lived mostly in our imagination. Movies like "Fantastic Voyage" convinced us that tiny machines would one day cruise through the human body, fixing problems from the ...

In the Micromouse competition, tiny autonomous robots race to solve complex mazes as quickly as possible. Some of the fastest robots can complete the course in as little as six seconds, using sensors, ...

Most robots depend on controlled environments, because the real world is hard to get around in. The smaller the robot, the bigger this problem because little wheels (or legs) can take only little ...

NEW BEDFORD – Orpheus is less than a year old but is precocious. The undersea robot built by Orpheus Ocean has already made six dives to 3.5 miles beneath the ocean’s surface. The bright orange ...
